The dimmension of the original train, test set are as following:

print("Fashion MNIST train -  rows:",train.shape[0]," columns:", train.shape[1])
print("Fashion MNIST test -  rows:",test.shape[0]," columns:", test.shape[1])

Fashion MNIST train -  rows: 60000  columns: 785
Fashion MNIST test -  rows: 10000  columns: 785

• Both the training and testing datasets share the same number of columns, yet their row counts vary. The training dataset comprises 60,000 rows, while the testing dataset consists of 10,000 rows. Therefore, the training dataset contains 60,000 data points, whereas the testing dataset contains 10,000 data points.

Bar Graph Distribution of Dataset

import plotly.graph_objects as go

# Convert y_train to a one-dimensional array of integers
y_train = np.array(y_train).flatten().astype(np.int8)

# Count the occurrences of each class
class_counts = np.bincount(y_train)

# Get the class labels and names
class_labels = list(apparel_items.keys())
apparel_items = list(apparel_items.values())

# Define colors for each bar
colors = ['rgb(31, 119, 180)', 'rgb(255, 127, 14)', 'rgb(44, 160, 44)', 'rgb(214, 39, 40)',
          'rgb(148, 103, 189)', 'rgb(140, 86, 75)', 'rgb(227, 119, 194)', 'rgb(127, 127, 127)',
          'rgb(188, 189, 34)', 'rgb(23, 190, 207)']

# Create a bar graph using plotly
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Bar(
    x=class_labels,
    y=class_counts,
    text=apparel_items,  # Adding text for hover
    marker_color=colors
)])

# Update layout
fig.update_layout(
    title='Number of samples per label',
    xaxis=dict(
        title='Class',
        tickmode='array',
        tickvals=class_labels,
        ticktext=apparel_items,
        tickangle=-45
    ),
    yaxis=dict(title='Count')
)

# Show the plot
fig.show()

As we can see, there is no bias in the training dataset because there are the same amount of examples for every class.

Model summary :

• This is a sequential model with layers stacked one after another. It starts with a Flatten layer to transform the input images (28x28 pixels) into a one-dimensional array (784 elements). Then, there are two Dense layers with 128 neurons each, using the ReLU activation function. Finally, there's another Dense layer with 10 neurons using the softmax activation function for class probabilities. The model has a total of 104,468 parameters, all of which are trainable.

our model is defined, we can compile it using the Adam optimizer and the categorical cross-entropy loss function.

# Show the figure
fig.show()

There is no significant difference after Epoch-2, the loss reduces but at the cost of computational resources hence, we can get the model's epoch to 2

Training Loss (Blue Line):

• Starts sharply at a loss of around 5 at epoch 0.
• Rapidly decreases within the first two epochs.
• Flattens out close to a loss of 1 after epoch 2.

Validation Loss (Red Line):

• Begins at a loss of around 4 at epoch 0.
• Decreases more gradually than the training loss.
• Also flattens out close to a loss of 1 after epoch 2.

Conclusion:

• The graph illustrates the training and Validation losses over epochs in machine learning or deep learning training. Initially, both losses are high but decrease rapidly within the first two epochs. This could indicate that the model is learning effectively from the training data. After two epochs, both losses plateau near a value of one.

Training Accuracy (Blue Line):

• Starts at an accuracy of approximately 0.72 at epoch 0.
• Increases sharply until epoch 3, reaching approximately 0.82 accuracy.
• Gradually increases to about 0.84 by epoch 9.

Validation Accuracy (Orange Line):

• Begins at an accuracy of about 0.74 at epoch 0.
• Increases sharply until epoch 3, reaching an accuracy of about 0.82.
• Remains relatively stable with slight fluctuations through epoch 9.

Conclusion

• The graph illustrates the progression of both training and validation accuracies over epochs during the model’s learning process. Initially, there are fluctuations in the validation accuracy while the training accuracy increases steadily. However, after epoch eight, both accuracies increase consistently, with training accuracy always higher than validation accuracy.

157/157 [==============================] - 0s 2ms/step

Metric	Accuracy	Precision	Recall	F1 Score
Value	0.0978	0.097882	0.0978	0.097662

Accuracy (0.0978):

• Represents the proportion of correct predictions out of the total number of instances in the validation set.
• Indicates that approximately 9.78% of the predictions were correct.

Precision (0.097882):

• Reflects the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations across all classes.
• Shows how precise the model's positive class predictions are.
• With a value of 0.097882, the precision is low, indicating that the model's positive predictions are not very accurate.

Recall (0.0978):

• Signifies the ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to all observations in the actual class.
• Indicates how many actual positive instances the model correctly predicted.
• Having a recall of 0.0978 suggests that the model correctly identified only a small fraction of the positive instances.

F1 Score (0.097662):

• Represents the harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a balance between the two metrics.
• Indicates the overall effectiveness of the model in terms of both precision and recall.
• With a value of 0.097662, the F1 score is low, indicating that the model's balance between precision and recall is not optimal.

Increase the precision for class '5' without changing the model or retraining

from sklearn.metrics import precision_score

# Obtain model predictions for the test set
predictions = model.predict(X_val)
predicted_labels = np.argmax(predictions, axis=1)
indices_class_5 = np.where(y_val == 5)[0]
y_test_class_5 = y_test[indices_class_5]
predicted_labels_class_5 = predicted_labels[indices_class_5]

# Calculate the actual precision for class 5
true_positives = np.sum(predicted_labels_class_5 == 5)
total_predicted_positives = np.sum(predicted_labels == 5)
actual_precision_class_5 = true_positives / total_predicted_positives

print("Actual Precision for Class 5:", actual_precision_class_5)

# Set the threshold
threshold = 0.7

# Binarize predictions based on the threshold for class 5
binarized_predictions_class_5 = (predictions[indices_class_5, 5] >= threshold).astype(int)
true_positives_adjusted = np.sum(binarized_predictions_class_5 == 1)
adjusted_precision_class_5 = true_positives_adjusted / np.sum(binarized_predictions_class_5)

print("Adjusted Precision for Class 5 (Threshold at 0.7):", adjusted_precision_class_5)

157/157 [==============================] - 0s 1ms/step
Actual Precision for Class 5: 0.9403578528827038
Adjusted Precision for Class 5 (Threshold at 0.7): 1.0

Class 5 Actual Accuracy:

• 0.0888 is the actual accuracy for class 5, as determined without using any threshold. According to this, 8.88% of the total predictions submitted for class 5 turned out to be accurate.

Adjusted Precision for Class 5:

• (with a threshold of 0.7) is 1.0 once the class 5 forecasts have been subjected to this threshold. This shows that all of the positive predictions for class 5 were accurate when only forecasts with a confidence level of 70% or above were taken into account.

Overall

• These results show that the model performs well in class 5 instance classification, and at a threshold of 0.7, it achieves complete precision, which means that all positive predictions for class 5 are true. This suggests that there is very high confidence in the model's ability to predict occurrences of class 5.

Increase the Recall for class '5' without changing the model or retraining

from sklearn.metrics import recall_score

predictions = model.predict(X_val)
predicted_labels = np.argmax(predictions, axis=1)
indices_class_5 = np.where(y_val == 5)[0]
y_test_class_5 = y_test[indices_class_5]
predicted_labels_class_5 = predicted_labels[indices_class_5]

# Calculate the actual recall for class 5
true_positives = np.sum(predicted_labels_class_5 == 5)
total_positives = len(y_test_class_5)
actual_recall_class_5 = true_positives / total_positives

print("Actual Recall for Class 5:", actual_recall_class_5)

# Set the threshold
threshold = 0.7


binarized_predictions_class_5 = (predictions[indices_class_5, 5] >= threshold).astype(int)
true_positives_adjusted = np.sum(binarized_predictions_class_5 == 1)
adjusted_recall_class_5 = true_positives_adjusted / total_positives

print("Adjusted Recall for Class 5 (Threshold at 0.7):", adjusted_recall_class_5)

157/157 [==============================] - 0s 1ms/step
Actual Recall for Class 5: 0.9220272904483431
Adjusted Recall for Class 5 (Threshold at 0.7): 0.9044834307992202

Real Recall for Class 5:

• Without using a threshold, the real recall for class 5 is 0.0924. This shows that the model properly classified 9.24% of the dataset's class 5 cases out of all the occurrences.

Adjusted Recall for Class 5 (Threshold @ 0.7):

• The adjusted recall for class 5 is 0.0903 when the predictions are subjected to a 0.7 threshold. This indicates that the model successfully identified about 9.03% of occurrences in class 5 when looking solely at predictions with a confidence level of 70% or higher.

Overall

• These findings suggest that the model performs rather poorly in recalling class 5 occurrences because the actual and adjusted recall values are both less than 0.1. The recall for class 5 remains unchanged when the threshold is changed.
